Swap from BT to Plusnet FTTP

[#1]

@Segynowycz 

Nothing bad will happen. I used a BT Smarthub on a Plusnet service for years.

When the BT service switches to Plusnet the service will stop. At this point all that you need to do is remove the WAN cable (this is essential), log in to the BT hub and change the Username to <yournewaccountusername>@plusdsl.net and change the Password to your Plusnet one. After settings are saved, plug the WAN cable back in.

Note that you might not get Internet access straight away as Plusnet need to set up the acoount on their system.

BUT, @Segynowycz , note that keeping the BT Hub will probably cost you £60.00

I'm a bit confused by this statement "The BT and Plusnet hubs use the same Admin SSID"

Sorry for the confusion Dan, it was a bit early for me and my brain was not fully in gear.

I have heard conflicting tales about whether Smarthub 2s work but believe that they do. I suspect that the latest ones that we know don't work post date the date after which BT started charging for the non return of hardware.

Transferring settings is straightforward as the routers are virtually the same. Once the service stops, swap the routers over. A few weeks later you will get details for returning your BT router. As you can tell I did the same swap a couple of years ago.
